Recreational opportunities abound, including fishing, camping, golfing,
hiking, boating, downhill and cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, and
skating. Our community is home to the College of St. Scholastica, the
University of Minnesota Duluth, Lake Superior College, Fond du Lac Community
College and, across the bay, the University of Wisconsin-Superior.

Duluth also has 22 public schools, three charter schools, one private school
and four parochial schools. The city's harbor welcomes more than 1,000
ocean-going and Great Lakes freighters annually. The physician population
is more than 400. One in every seven residents is employed in health care
and Duluth is rated first in the U.S. for quality health care among communities
of similar size. It has 50 restaurants in the downtown area alone and
maintains 23 city parks, sculpture and rose gardens. Duluth was rated by
Money Magazine as one of the top four Midwestern small cities, based on livability.
